#InternationlYouthDay2021
On Sunday, August 8 th, Japan brought the curtain down on the #TokyoOlympics, (undoubtedly, a much needed event during these hard hitting times, despite many wanting to call it off, but the show went on incredibly well) giving us numerous enchanting moments- pride, hope, cheer, curiosity, worry and high adrenaline rush; covering the entire spectrum of emotions by and large.
Historically the Games have been used as a platform to raise awareness about cultural, political and socio-economic issues. Here the most intriguing aspect is that the world witnessed some rising stars, as young as in the middle school making the history at Tokyo Olympics. Though, there is no specific age limit for taking part in the Olympic Games. This depends on each International Sports Federation and the rules it lays down for its sport, but individual sports have eligibility limits. Gymnasts, for example, must be 16 years old to compete at the Games, while boxers must have turned 18. Olympic skateboarding, notably, has no minimum age requirement, opening the door for young competitors like Brown and Hiraki. The youngest Olympian in the modern history of the games to win a medal was 10-year-old Dimitrios Loundras, a Greek gymnast who helped his team win a bronze medal in team parallel bars at the 1896 Athens Summer Games. Tokyo’s youngest competitor was 12-year-old Syrian table tennis prodigy Hend Zaza, Be it youth Olympics games or #olympics gives equal opportunities to #men and #women players a stupendous and incredible international platformto showcase their charisma to the world. a special platform for youngsters to rise and announce themselves.
